Tamási Szennyvíztisztító Telep - Tamási Wastewater Treatment Plant, Hungary

Tamási Szennyvíztisztító Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Tamási, a town in Tolna County within the Dél-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The facility serves a population of approximately 11,578 residents, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Hungarian and EU regulations. As a plant in Hungary, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity is reported as 1.00 (likely thousand m³/day), indicating the plant's scale. Typical plants in this region employ mechanical-biological treatment with nutrient removal to meet EU standards. The plant discharges treated effluent into local watercourses that drain into the Danube River basin, ultimately reaching the Black Sea. The surrounding area is part of the Dél-Dunántúl region, characterized by agricultural landscapes and small rivers. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and supporting the ecological health of downstream environments.

The plant's treated effluent flows into the local tributaries of the Danube River, which eventually reaches the Black Sea. The Danube basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. The plant helps reduce nutrient loads and pollutants that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal waters.
